I never knew that making Bah Kut Teh can be this easy. Below is the recipe from my god-ma.

Enjoy.


Teochew Bak Kut Teh

Ingredients:

Pork Ribs 500 grams
Water 1.8 Liters
Garlic 15 cloves (Do not peel the individual cloves)
Dark Soya Sauce ½ Tablespoon
Light Soya Sauce ½ Tablespoon
Cinnamon 1 stick (2 inches long)
Star Aniseed 1 piece
Pepper (Whole) ¾ Tablespoons


The Making:

1. Preparation of the pork ribs:

Wash the marrow of the ribs using a chopstick as to ensure soup will not contain taste of blood.

2. Put the washed ribs into the water.

3. Add in the garlic, soya sauce[1], pepper, cinnamon and star aniseed.

4. Boil the dish over medium heat for around 35 – 40 minutes.

5. Add minimal salt to taste.

[1] For Hokkien style, replace ½ tablespoon light sauce to dark sauce of the same amount.
